ADDENDUM No. 1 - Port of Oakland

There are no other changes to RFP No. 12-13/07.
The following questions were submitted by the deadline and are answered in this
addendum.
1. Question: Please confirm that any future modification under Project Overview that states
“The Port reserves the right to modify these hours (operational hours of the Ramp
Control facility will be from 0530 until 2200 daily) for operational necessity” would be
coordinated with the contractor and should it require for example an expansion of
operating hours which could impact staffing and thereby cost, that negotiations will be
conducted with the contractor prior to said modification of operating hours.
Answer: Yes, the Port will open negotiations with the successful proposer if the operating
hours change.
2. Question: Is there a cost from the Port of Oakland or other agency associated with
obtaining SIDA badges? What are those cost per employee and who is the fee paid to?
Answer: Yes, a contractor is required to pay an ID Badge fee of $25.00 and $50.00 for
fingerprint application per person payable to the Port of Oakland.
3. Question: Please clarify the need/requirement to obtain airfield driving privileges training
and testing. Is there a cost associated with this requirement?
Answer: The airfield driving privileges training will allow ramp control staff to
understand the transition of vehicles in both the movement and the non-movement areas
of the Airport. This training will also allow ramp control staff to become familiar with
the Airport Rules and Regulations pertaining to the non-movement areas. No additional
costs will be incurred for this training.
4. Question: The Port request that financial status and staffing costs be provided in monthly,
quarterly and annual reports. Please confirm if this is a firm-fixed price contract. If not,
please specify the contract type. Please clarify what is meant by financial cost? Please
clarify what is required related to staffing cost?
Answer: The contract is a fixed price contract. Since this is a fixed price contract,
staffing/financial costs do not need to be provided in the monthly, quarterly and annual
reports.
5. Question: Please clarify what type of equipment will the Port provide under this contract
(e.g. radios (transmitter/receivers), video cameras, telephones and or voice switching
equipment)? Who will be responsible for the equipment installation and maintenance?
Answer: The Port will provide three (3) air to ground radios, a phone solution for crash
phone/direct line to ATCT as well as any video solution needed. The equipment
specification has not been determined at this time. Any equipment installed by the Port
will be maintained by the Port. Any additional equipment provided by the contractor
should be listed in the proposer’s proposal.
